	Configuration: Basic Gateway TCP/IP Wireless USB
dotted-decimal	Method of representing an IP address or subnet mask using four decimal numbers called octets. Each
format	octet represents eight bits.
	In a class C IP address, the octets are “network.network.network.host.” The first three octets together
	represent the network address and the final octet is the host address. In the SBG900 LAN default
	configuration, 192.168.100 represents the network address. In the final octet, the host address can be
	from 2 to 254.
download	To copy a file from one computer to another. You can use the Internet to download files from a server
	to a computer. A DOCSIS or Euro-DOCSIS cable modem or gateway downloads its configuration file
	from a TFTP server during start-up.
downstream	In a cable data network, the direction of data received by the computer from the Internet.
driver	Software that enables a computer to interact with a network or other device. For example, there are
	drivers for printers, monitors, graphics adapters, modems, Ethernet, USB, HPNA, and many others.
DSL	Digital Subscriber Line
DSSS	Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum is an IEEE 802.11b RF modulation protocol.
dynamic IP	An IP address that is temporarily leased to a host by a DHCP server. The opposite of static IP
address	address.

E

encapsulate	To include data into some other data unit to hide the format of the included data.
encode	To alter an electronic signal so that only an authorized user can unscramble it to view the information.
encrypt	To encode data.
endpoint	A VPN endpoint terminates the VPN at the router so that computers on the SBG900 LAN do not need
	VPN client software to tunnel through the Internet to the VPN server.
ESSID	The Extended Service Set Identifier or network name is a unique identifier that wireless clients use to
	associate with an access point to distinguish between multiple WLANs in the same area. All clients on
	a WLAN must have the same ESSID as the access point. On the SBG900, you can set the ESSID on
	the Wireless > NETWORK page.
Ethernet	The most widely used LAN type, also known as IEEE 802.3. The most common Ethernet networks are
	10Base-T, which provide transmission speeds up to 10 Mbps, usually over unshielded, twisted-pair
	wire terminated with RJ-45 connectors. Fast Ethernet (100Base-T) provides speeds up to 100 Mbps.
	“Base” means “baseband technology” and “T” means “twisted pair cable.”’
	Each Ethernet port has a physical address called the MAC address.
Euro-DOCSIS	A tComLabs standard that is DOCSIS adapted for use in Europe.
event	A message generated by a device to inform an operator or the network management system that
	something has occurred.
expansion slot	A connection point in a computer where a circuit board can be inserted to add new capabilities.
EAP	Extensible Authentication Protocol
